鳥取のみなさん、ヒーちゃん（ヒルデちゃん）を覚えていますか。Hildegunn Haugen gave a very good message about heaven, both for adults and for all the missionary kids who were gathered at the opening tonight.

Hildegunn also met her former teacher at the Norwegian School in Kobe, Marit Haugen.

Some other faces you may recognize: Next to Hildegunn is Alice Krogsæter (babysitter in Kobe 1994/95 and later missionary in Peru), and many of you also know Jan Sandvik, who has been working for many years in Japan.

最後の写真は新型インフルエンザ予防対策の様子です。今年の夏はノルウェーでも感染した人が増えているので、注意しなければなりません。"Should we smile?" Magne Gillebo asks. He and Elin Sæverås (born Finnseth) are the main leaders of this missionary course. They informed us how to avoid getting infected by influenza.

It seems that most of the participants are missionaries from Japan, but we have people having come back from many countries.Some may wonder if we have any missionaries left in Japan when there are so many here. Fortunately there are still 10 of "us" on the field. For us who now are at home, Norway is our mission field. But Japan is still in our hearts!
